Job 15:20-35

20The wickedH7563 man travaileth with pain all his daysH3117,Even the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 that are laid up for the oppressor.21A soundH6963 of terrorsH6343 is in his earsH241;In prosperity the destroyerH7703 shall comeH935 upon him.22He believeth not that he shall returnH7725 out of darknessH2822,And he is waited for of the swordH2719.23He wandereth abroad for breadH3899, saying, Where is it?He knoweth that the dayH3117 of darknessH2822 is ready at his handH3027.24DistressH6862 and anguish make him afraid;They prevail against him, as a kingH4428 readyH6264 to the battle.25Because he hath stretchedH5186 out his handH3027 against GodH410,And behaveth himself proudly against the AlmightyH7706;26He runneth upon him with astiffneckH6677,With the thick bosses of his bucklers;27Because he hath coveredH3680 his faceH6440 with his fatness,And gathered fatH2459 upon his loinsH3689;28And he hath dweltH3427 in desolate citiesH5892,In housesH1004 which no man inhabitedH3427,Which were ready to become heapsH1530;29He shall not be richH6238, neither shall his substance continue,Neither shall their possessions be extendedH5186 on the earthH776.30He shall not departH5493 out of darknessH2822;The flameH7957 shall dryH3001 up his branches,And by the breathH7307 ofGod’smouthH6310 shall he go awayH5493.31Let him not trustH539 in vanityH7723, deceiving himself;For vanityH7723 shall beH1961 his recompense.32It shall be accomplished before his time,And his branchH3712 shall not be green.33He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vineH1612,And shall castH7993 off his flower as the olive-tree.34For the companyH5712 of the godlessH2611 shall be barrenH1565,And fireH784 shall consumeH398 the tentsH168 of bribery.35They conceiveH2029 mischiefH5999, and bringH3205 forthH3205 iniquity,And their heart prepareth deceitH4820.
